george thread

>> No.8262910

George possibly set a lot of these events into motion.

It is very possible that Battler did write a letter to Shannon and that George, holding the envelope, decided to keep the letters from Shannon. If that is the case, it would be interesting to know what their conversation at the family conference would be like.

George and Shannon's story is one that gets told nearly once per episode and we get something different from it each time. Increasingly we become aware that he is more like Shannon's stalker than anything else.

Jessica gets a really short end of the stick. I want to see more with Jessica because I think there still is more there. Particularly, I think her closed room in Ep4 may have a bit more to it.

There are no kakera, and all the stories Yasu wrote centered around her being the culprit as they were supposed to be clues to her heart.

Dunno, still going through it. So far the yummiest George-relevant thing is that in that one case where he and Shannon were found dead in the same closed room Shannon killed him because he told her he wanted to have kids, not knowing she couldn't have any. So she killed him and killed herself next. Also PERSONALITIES are a possible workaround in many Shannon/Kanon cases (ie if Shannon can't kill George Kanon will handle that and vice versa).

You know, the memory loss thing could be quite cool if it was foreshadowed more and played up right. But as it is, that's not really what he went with since Tohya is a "different person" to Battler and not trying to regain his memories. Having Battler in the present struggling to regain his memories, and witches invading his "Personal Reality" for the laugh is a pretty amusing premise. It'd be better if he was in a coma or something, though that's kinda cheesy, worked for Life on Mars.

Lambdadelta gave "Power" to Beatrice to be a "real witch" so she could actually get in his head and help remind him of what happened.

Shkannontrice could be an artifact of Battler's crappy memory. In reality, Shannon, Kanon and Yasu are seperate people. However, as part of her murder mysteries sent as the notes in the bottle, Yasu created the questionable backstory seen in #7 which took some liberties with the servants real backstory. Battler mistook this for fact, just as he mistook a lot of fiction for the fact of what happened on the Island.

Jessica got it worse since she has a lot more involvement that is never pursued again. Aside from dating one of her best friends male personalities she also helps give the family the impression that Kinzo is a bitter and angry old fool in the first episodes.

If there's a character whos' been wasted it's Jessica.

After it was confirmed that the real truth is shit not even worth reading.
There were no closed room murder or any mystery. The real culprit probably just shoot people on sight without any regard on hiding their intentions and got blew up by Yasu in the end.
The other eps were just fictional tales written to look like a mystery.

Question about ep7, guys. Yes, inb4 slowpoke.jpg

Why is it that Yasu said people wouldn't die if he came a year earlier or a year later?

A year earlier, Yasu wouldn't have promised George he'd marry him; a year later, she'd given up Battler.
Him showing up the exact time she had to decide made her go wonkers.

The incident would have been laid to rest if the truth came out. Instead, everyone made crazy theories and all the other relatives of the deceased had to live without ever finding out what happened to the people the lost or whether they were murderers.

That the closed room only exist on paper doesn't make them any less interesting, especially since the fictional tales all are, on some level, descriptions of how Yasu or Battler perceived their family.

Really enjoyed episode 8, was expecting the worst considering all the hate, but maybe I'm just the type easily amused by magic tricks. Also, best tea party.
